I recently discovered a device that every home should have when it comes to cybersecurity – the Dojo by BellGuard. The […]...

This is a partnered post with TreeRing Memories. It seems like just yesterday when my boys were just little guys. Some were in preschool while others were still in diapers.

The back-to-school season is now in full effect in our family and the area where we live. With 6 kids, that meant lots of different purchases – from backpacks to school supplies to new clothes. While we did some of our shopping in stores near us, we also did a lot of shopping online and […]...

Life can get pretty busy in most of our lives and without family organization, it can get really crazy! When you look at your individual events, activities and appointments, it doesn’t look too bad.

I love to listen to music and sometimes the music I like to listen to is not what my family necessarily wants to listen to. Whether it’s traveling, going for a walk or attempting to work out, I want to listen to my own music and with that requires the use of headphones. I can’t […]...

Imagine this. You’re on vacation and headed for a great time, but then you start to wonder. Did I turn down the heat? Did I close your garage door? Is the front door locked? What if I told you that you didn’t have to wonder anymore and that you could monitor your home no matter […]...
